        =======
        
        BRss is an 'offline' RSS reader written in Python.
        It is a complete rewrite of another python RSS reader (Naufrago!),
        based on the concept of service/client. It uses the dbus library to 
        enable communication between the service and clients.
        
        Features:
        ---------
        
        BRss consists of two applications:
        
        1. brss-engine
        brss-engine is a dbus service. Its main features are:
            - periodically downloads feed articles, with their images
            - notify on updates
            - transparently replaces remote image tags on article request.
            - search articles
        
        2. brss-reader
        brss-reader is a GTK+ client for brss-engine.
            - Connects to brss-engine
            - Keyboard feed and article navigation (à la Thunderbird)
            - full-screen article viewing
            - Article search engine
        
        
        INSTALL:
        --------
        Reminder: BRss is still "alpha" software. Use at your own risks.
        
        BRss requires the following python modules to run.
        
        python-gobject
        python-feedparser
        python-sqlite3
        python-dbus
        
        How to install this modules may vary depending on your distribution.
        In Archlinux run the following command as root:
        
        # pacman -S dbus-python pygobject python2-feedparser python-pysqlite gtk3 \
            libwebkit3 libnotify gcc gettext glib2
        
        1. Extract the archive
        
        $ tar zxf brss-0.8.12.tar.gz
        $ cd brss-0.8.12
        
        2. Install
        
        $ sudo python setup.py install
        
        3. For some reason, the schema is not copied during installation, so do it manually.
        
        $ sudo cp brss/schemas/com.itgears.BRss.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
        
        4. Compile the schema folder
        
        $ sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
        
        TODO:
        -----
        
        The following are planned, in no particular order:
        
            - Provide a proper install script.
            - Documentation
            - Gnome3 design guidelines compliance
            - Better logo and pixmaps
            - CLI interface
            - DnD feed recategorizing
